Quality Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting solutions suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the web hosting environment they need. To pick the most suitable web hosting service for your online portal, you have to access what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The best option for small online portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per user drastically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy an account that will include the specifications your web page in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Supportive Hosting, offer a big variety of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business sites that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a low-end account and you require more system resources, moving to a high-end plan takes only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Minuses

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Specific websites, mainly web stores, need applications to be available on the server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software applications that do not request full root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that demand complete server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally come with full server root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts sport diverse specifications based on what the hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server hosting package offers guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief intervals of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.

Opting for the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an effect on the stable performance of a site.
